It's no secret that I grew up a huge fan of Randy Rhoads and I would always be on the lookout for magazines he'd be featured in, or any other memorabilia I could get my hands on, and I still have all of it to this day.

I learned in early 2012 that two coffee table style books about Randy would be released to coincide with the 30th anniversary of his tragic death, and I was elated and pre-ordered each book as soon as I could.

Each book offers hundreds of beautifully laid out pages containing many never-before seen photos and first hand stories from those that knew him best. When each book arrived, my day was made and I've spent hours enjoying them. It's obvious that these books were labors of love, and really are a must own item for any fan of Randy Rhoads.

I was fortunate enough to spend a few hours with Andrew Klein at the Arlington Guitar show this past October, and it was a true pleasure chatting about Randy. In speaking with him, I quickly learned how much love he has for the project.

Anyway, I've listed the books in the store here, but I have no affiliation with the publishers; I'm just sharing links to the publisher's websites to get the word out. So check them out and order your copies; you'll be glad you did.
